can you use the p800 to surf html sites by just using the APN
www.globe.com.ph which is currently free at the moment?

No you cannot surf the web for free anymore... We could for almost a year actually (or was it more?) when Globe first introduced their GPRS...hehehehe... we really abused it... I even plugged my T68i into my desktop so that I could surf whenever Destiny Cable was Down...hhehehe... and we all know how often that is!!!
Surprisingly, I see a lot more SE users now than before... I see soooo many people with the T68i!!! I also see a lot of ladies in Greenbelt 3 who have the T600!!! (It is a cute phone, specially if you don't really want a colored phone)
And most of us from Esato have the P800 already.
I highly doubt the P800 will be as common as the 7650 or 3650. First of all, most people can't even make full use of the T68i's features... sanay na kasi sa Nokia eh... pang talk & text lang.
So, if they couldn't maximize the T68i... I doubt they can handle the P800. The P800 is like an F1 car... it expects that you know what you're doing

When I setup my P800 to be able to use Globe's GPRS I specifically asked the guys at globequest and the ladies of their 730-1000 24-hour callcenter about charges. This is what they said:
If you browse the internet via WAP thru your phone using
www.globe.com.ph it is free, you only get charged for downloading sweet items from their site like icons and ringtones. However, if you use your phone as a wireless modem by accessing internet.globe.com.ph you get charged @ P 0.50 per kilobyte either way (sending or receiving).
That is as far as I know. Anybody has better info from Globe? I haven't actually receive my billing as yet so the above is not confirmed.

@terrible: its free nga ata if you use the
www.globe.com.ph APN. question is can you use that APN to surf html pages using ur p800? or wap pages lang ang pede nyang i-surf? i'm planning to get one kasi & i'm just interested whether i can do it.

I've actually accidentally browsed a web (html) site using my P800. The problem is the screen is so large you need to pan the view left/right and up/down. Besides, the screen is clattered with placeholders for graphics. It is not practical. Unlike Palm OS which has the webclipper application, the P800 although it is html capable is not a good browse for these pages. I am satisfied with text only WAP sites.
Try opening
www.google.com and you will experience what I just described.
I think you still do not get charged with getting html pages as long as you are using your P800 internet account that points to
www.globe.com.ph.

Terrible, yup surfing through Globe's WAP gateway is still free... but it does filter out SOME (very few) HTML pages, and I don't think you can download large files. But it's free... so I'm not complaining!!!
The web browser in the P800 isn't the official browser yet... Opera for UIQ wasn't finished in time for the P800 release so it should be made available through SE as a download soon.
And yes, surfing from your laptop will be charged P0.50/KB
Emailing from the P800 is still free as well. Only MMS is charged at P5/MMS

@ P800 users , Please be advised that Smartnet have a new software version for P800 (R1D). Please backup your phone. For out of warranty phones there is a labor charge. Thanks.
